“#Movie theaters reduce hours as Hollywood blockbusters delayed<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Movie theaters are reducing their hours as Hollywood pulls back on releasing fall blockbusters like \u201cWonder Woman 1984\u201d and \u201cBlack Widow\u201d amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The biggest movie theater chains \u2014 including AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas and Cinemark \u2014 said they are beginning to limit showtimes because there are no major films being released until late November. Some smaller movie houses in sleepier markets are following suit and taking it a step further by closing certain days of the week when traffic is low.<\/p>\n

Cinemark, which owns more than 500 movie theaters in the US, said about 75 percent of its cinemas are open. The rep told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday that it would \u201cevaluate\u201d opportunities where it sees demand, opening or closing more locations, accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fallow period because few big films will be released before the end of the year,\u201d Comscore media<\/a> analyst Paul Dergarabedian told The Post.<\/p>\n

Movie theater owners are looking to Nov. 20 for the release of the new James Bond flick \u201cNo Time to Die\u201d and Pixar\u2019s Soul to restart the box office, but there\u2019s still a danger that if the coronavirus is still spreading, those films will be delayed, too.<\/p>\n

Cinemas reopened where they were allowed in time for Christopher Nolan\u2019s spy thriller \u201cTenet,\u201d which rolled out over Labor Day weekend. But without major markets like New York and Los Angeles in play, the $200 million flick has struggled, grossing just $41.2 million domestically through Sept. 27. Movie theater operators had hoped \u201c<\/em>Tenet\u201d would be followed by Disney\u2019s \u201cMulan,\u201d but that movie was sent straight to streaming service Disney+ at a premium price in the US over the Labor Day frame.<\/p>\n

This month, Warner Bros. pushed back the release of \u201cWonder Woman 1984\u201d to Dec. 25 from its original opening date of Oct. 2, and Disney moved \u201cBlack Widow,\u201d starring Scarlett Johansson, to May 2021 from Nov. 6.<\/p>\n

The impact of the delays has been immediate on movie theaters. According to Comscore, 3,453 out of 6,000 North American theaters were back in business over the weekend of Sept. 18. As of now, that number shrank to 3,350.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about studios trying to find the best possible timeframe in which to release their films,\u201d said Dergarabedian, who explained that studios are waiting for major markets to reopen in order to release their biggest films.<\/p>\n

\u201cRelease date changes are the norm and not the exception,\u201d he said before turning to the uncertainty of the pandemic. \u201cIt depends what happ<\/a>ens with COVID-19.\u201d<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
